Precaution
Don’t:
Use expired sensors. Before inserting, always check the package
label for the expiration date using the YYYY-MM-DD format.
Why;
If past the expiration date, the sensor glucose readings might not be
accurate.
Consequences:
Missing severe low or high glucose event.
Precaution
Don’t:
Share your transmitter with another person.
Why:
The system is a prescription-only medical device and is meant, or
indicated, for your use only.
Consequences:
Your transmitter is tied to
your
readings. If used by
someone else, your reports, Alarm and Alerts, etc., would be wrong,
resulting in you missing a severe low or high glucose event.
